US President Barack Obama smiles while he speaks about the economy on June 8, 2012, at the White House in Washington, DC. Obama said Friday that Europe's leaders "understand the urgent need to act" to solve the eurozone crisis, as a rescue plan for Spain's banks appeared in the works. But he also warned Greeks that they would face more hardship if they choose to leave the eurozone after elections take place on June 17.

GLENDALE (AP) — President Obama will visit the home of “Shrek” next week to deliver remarks on the economy.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the president will stop next Tuesday at DreamWorks Animation in Glendale. Earnest won’t provide details but he says the U.S. movie and TV industry is creating thousands of jobs around the country.

The studio’s animated hits include “Shrek,” ”Madagascar,” ”Kung Fu Panda” and their sequels.

DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg is a big supporter of Obama and Democratic Party causes. Last year he gave $2 million to the group supporting Obama’s re-election. During an August trip to California, the president and Katzenberg dined in Obama’s Los Angeles hotel room.
